Kweku Mandela, Co-founder of the Africa Rising Foundation, Hon. Regina Benjamin, U.S. Surgeon General, Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool of South Africa Ambassador to the U.S., Hon. Ray LaHood, U.S. Secretary of Transportation. Dr. Regina Benjamin highlighted the work of peers in prevention and is very supportive of the work NAPPP is doing. Ebrahim Rasool delivered a powerful message about Freedom and the responsibility that comes with it. An example is that we have the freedom to do what we want, but always be aware of the responsibility to drive safely, promote safety and not danger. He ended with a poem that highlighted an African phrase "Manduto"--I am because you are. "Youth Safety depends on my responsibility".
The afternoon was spent at the National Traffic Safety Board facility and the following were highlighted. Driver Training in Dearborn Michigan; Seat Belt Use from Edison, New Jersey; Distracted Driving from Dallas Texas; Impaired Driving from Gillespie H.S. in IL
